“Gale has selected resources for this collection to form a geographically dispersed and politically diverse body of material. The publication runs are often extensive, with many titles running 100 years or more. This part could be considered more esoteric than previous offerings, with the majority of titles representing smaller regional papers covering non-metropolitan areas. However, integrated with additional parts of the British Newspapers, 1600-1950 collection, the material may provide valuable additional insight on historical and social issues of 19th and 20th century Britain.”

“This is an electronic resource worth investing in, and will be indispensable in research libraries' periodicals collections. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries.”

“This resource is intended for academic audiences. It would be most useful to researchers with an interest in United Kingdom history in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. However, because the United Kingdom played such a prominent role in world affairs during this time period, the collection offers broad-scope value to academic researchers in other geographic and/or subject areas (women’s rights and suffrage, culture, political reform, etc.). The resource content is excellent—as are the tools for search and discovery.”
